It seems that nobody have used the jump to page seriously since nobody has noticed that it is not working.
Mobi devices don't do pagination - it's simply an "estimate" based on file position. That's why on devices which DO show the page number, (eg the iLiad) you can reach the final displayed page number and still page forward a few times before you reach the end of the book. This has been reported several times on the iLiad forum. It's yet another reason that page numbering isn't terribly useful; they aren't "real" page numbers.
